Summer Checklists

The kids and I are all making summer checklists today-- things that we want to be sure we do this summer, and I thought I'd share them. I tried to not interfere too much in theirs, although I have tried to help Kimball set some more reasonable goals and plans. (He's obviously the oldest child over-achieving type. I don't know where he gets it!)

Michal's Summer Checklist

Go beach camping-- check! (I'd been really wanting to do that this summer, and at the last minute, we took a four-day weekend and did it!)

Do something fun with the kids every day.

Learn/Teach something with the kids every day.

Make fresh squeezed lemonade, refrigerator pickles, and a homemade ice cream that Henry can eat. (Not all for the same occasion;)

* Give Michal lemons for her lemonade* Host Kimball's diving contest and clock him swimming without coming up for air* Let Henry come swimming at least 12 times* Let Ian do a back flip into the pool (whoa)* Let Bronwen practice her back flip on a ground-level trampoline* Just let Margaret be cute (the easiest one)

So cute! The lists tell a lot about your kids' personalities! Can't wait to see what everyone checks off.

My list is to survive! I have Alex's 1st birthday this week, then a family reunion in a week, then my marathon in a few weeks, then we move back to Utah a month after that, and then another family reunion and finally Serra's birthday- all before mid August! whew!

So glad to not be looking at Ralphie at the top of the blog anymore! :) Cant wait to help you out with some of your goals (come over for dinner, accompany you to the lake, have y'all over to swim...;) ).

My summer goal is to keep us all from strangling each other. Caity was home from school 2 days this week with a 24 hr bug. She stayed home today even though she felt fine and I though the girls were going to start WW 3 in my home. By the end of the day we had all turned on each other. Summer break here we come!!
